Gloria Steinem’s final message to readers resurfaces
Gloria Steinem shared her last Instagram post on June 27, 2026. It highlighted her favorite parts of being an author. They included traveling across the United States, visiting different bookstores, and interacting with readers face-to-face. In her words:
